Ben Askren's Incredible Reaction To Jorge Masvidal Fighting At UFC 251

Ben Askren has hilariously reacted to Jorge Masvidal stepping in on short notice to fight Kamaru Usman at UFC 251.

Masvidal is set to face UFC welterweight champion Usman this Saturday on 'Fight Island' after replacing Gilbert Burns.

The UFC have just six days to promote Usman vs. Masvidal with Dana White releasing the first promotional video following the confirmation of the championship bout.

And, of course, the video package features Masvidal's five-second destruction of Askren, who's fed up of seeing his defeat on social media.

On Twitter, he wrote: "Ugh now I gotta see that effing video all over Twitter this week. So annoying."

The former welterweight, who went 1-2 in the UFC, added: "Imagine the most embarrassing moment of your life being replayed incessantly on twitter."

Askren fought just one more time following his devastating defeat to Masvidal before retiring from MMA.

Though he'll be a keen spectator come UFC 251 having fought Masvidal and had beef with Usman.
